Lucy's pov;It's been a week since I've been feeling unwell. I get tired easily and I don't know why. Did I eat something expired? I ran to the bathroom when I felt nauseous. Tyler held my head saying, "Lucy, let's go to hospital." I said after wiping my mouth, "I'm okay. It's just something I ate. I took a tablet so I'll be fine." I changed my clothes and laid on the bed. Tyler checked my temperature and said, "Temperature is normal." "See, I'm fine Tyler. Don't worry about me." He laid beside me and said, "If you vomited once again. We're going to the hospital. Period." "Okay."I knew Tyler was right, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was wrong. The nausea would come in waves, and my body felt weak and heavy. As I closed my eyes, I felt Tyler's hand on my forehead, smoothing my hair away from my face."Lucy, are you sure you're okay?" he asked softly."I'm fine. Now go to sleep. Didn't you say you have an important meeting tomorrow?"That night, I slept restles
Lucy's pov;As i was talking with Daniel, Tyler rushed into the house and came straight to me asking, "What happened? Why did you ask me come immediately?" I hugged him and cried in his embrace. He asked while patting on my back, "Lucy, what happened? Why are you crying?" Since i didn't respond to him, he turned to daniel and asked him, "What did the doctor say?" Daniel answered him, "I didn't take her to the hospital." "What were you doing then? Why is she crying? Did you had a fight with her?" Daniel said to me, "Answer him before he threw a punch at me." I pulled away from the hug and looked at him in his eyes. "I'm pregnant," I said, tears still streaming down my face. Tyler's eyes widened in shock, but he quickly pulled me back into his embrace and kissed the top of my head. "That's amazing news, babe," he whispered. "Why were you crying then?" I pulled away from him to wipe my tears and said, "I'm scared, Tyler. I don't know if I'm ready to be a mom. I don't know if I'll b
When i woke up, i was on Tyler's lap and i could see we're heading to somewhere in a car. I called out Tyler's name and when he see me, he said, "Don't worry. We're on the way to the hospital. We'll be there, soon." And kissed my forehead. When i looked at my stomach, it was wrapped with many layers of fabric but the blood was still gushing out. With the amount of blood loss, i don't think I'll be able to get better. I held his hands and said, "I have something to tell you, Tyler." "Lucy, please don't stress yourself -" i cut him off saying, "The reason i was scared to confess was that because I'm scared of left behind." "Lucy..." "Please don't stop me, Tyler." I paused and continued, "The people who played the important part in my life left me behind. My mother, my father, my only best friend. Everyone left me behind." Tears began to roll down my cheeks. "But you, Tyler, you made me feel different. You made me feel like I was important and that I mattered. I'm scared that if i t
Lucy's pov;The next few days passed by in a blur as we made arrangements for our second wedding. As the day of the wedding approached, I felt myself growing more and more excited. Tyler and I had decided to have a small ceremony with just a few close friends and family members. The ceremony was held in a small garden behind our home, surrounded by blooming flowers and lush greenery. I wore the same white gown i wore before. As i walked out of the house, i saw a huge crowd in the garden. Didn't i asked him to keep it simple? Why did he invited many people? Jake took my hand saying, "I'll accompany you on the aisle." I was surprised to see him here so I asked, "When did you come from New Hampshire?" "Last night." I looked away from him and asked, "How did you know?" ""Tyler invited me. Hey, don't feel bad. I'm happy to be here at my sister's wedding." Tyler stood at the altar, looking handsome in his suit, as I walked towards him, my heart racing. "Lucy." I knew this voice. I turn
"Sorry for the wait, I had no idea it would take this long," I said as I took a seat at Mr. Ackerman's table. "No problem," he replied as he placed his near-empty glass on the table."What did you want to chat about? It's the weekend, and there are a lot of customers so can we make this quick?""I'm not one to beat around the bush too. Let's get married.""Wait, what?""You need money to get out of debt, correct? If you marry me, I'll help you do just that.""I don't get it. Wh-Why are you asking me to marry you?""My company is in bankruptcy and I need the family property to get back on top, but my grandfather set up this stupid will that won't allow me access unless I'm married. Everyone that I interviewed was more interested in my company and property than the money I offered them.""Okay but what made you choose me?""For the past week, I've been watching you. Even when your customers were wasted and offering money, you stayed honest. That's what made me think that you'll be more
Lucinda's p.o.v;The next day, "When will we get married?" Mr Ackerman asked me as I was served the drinks at the bar."What about the contract I asked you? Did you prepare it?"He put a piece of paper on the tray and said, "Aren't you a little rude? You looked so nice when you served me drinks, but now you look like a completely different person." I handed the contract back to him and said, "Then go find someone you like." He gave the contract again and said, "To be honest, I like a little rudeness." As I looked at the contract, he continued, "I forgot to ask you. Do you have a boyfriend?" "Don't you think it's too late to ask? And would I be willing to marry you if I had a boyfriend?" "So no boyfriend. Then are you seeing anyone?" "No." "What about your ex-boyfriends? How much have you had?" "I didn't have time for those things." "Are you saying you've never been in love?" "Why are you suddenly so interested in my love life?" "It's nothing wrong that I know about the pers
Lucinda's p.o.v;"Why are you quitting your job?" Mrs Smith, who's the manager at the nightclub I'm working in, asked me.'How can I tell her I should quit my work at the bar because it was mentioned in the contract I made with Mr Ackerman?'"It's just a little change of career," I answered calmly. My manager didn't look convinced, but then again, she never did. She was like an old lady who believed that everyone had their own story to tell. "I'm just getting away for a while.""I see," Mrs Smith said with a sigh, her eyes twinkling. "When will you be coming back?", she asked me, and before I could even answer. Since I couldn't tell her about Mr Ackerman, I said, "Soon. I promise.""Well if you need anything, don't hesitate to call me," Mrs Smith said earnestly before walking out of the room.I watched her leave, my lips slightly curled up in a smile as she left. Her smile was contagious. It warmed my heart a bit when my manager smiled like that because it reminded me how lucky I w
Lucinda's POV;Mr Ackerman brought me to the wedding outfits store. As soon as we entered, the people who work there gathered around him in a silent greeting of recognition or respect and they smiled. They talked to him like they knew him well. In the middle of the conversation with them, he pointed at me and said to them, "She's Lucinda, the girl I'm marrying" then they all clapped and cheered with excitement.He continued, "Can you help her by guiding into the store?" One of the female staff came forward and said, "We'll take care of her, Sir." And walked to me and said, "Congratulations for your wedding, mam. Do you have any preference for your bridal gown?" I shook my head as my response. "It's alright. Let's go in and have a look at the newly arrived bridal gowns first."When i looked at Mr Ackerman, he said, "Go with them." I walked with the female staff and came to another section of the store where there are much more expensive clothes than the clothes I saw when I entered
